We had learned to fight through soreness, how to train through pain.

Bryn has earned her place as a Verndari and proven that she is able to fulfil the duties expected of her. But they are down a warrior, and with the number of attacks increasing, it is only a matter of time before that catches up with them.

With war imminent, not only are the Verndari appointed a new comrade, but they are also dispatched to earn the support of one of the most powerful Jarls in Drysden. Every Jarl and War Lord maintains their own fighting forces as well as the right to refuse aid to the King Commander. Leaving the Verndari responsible for securing the support of the Jarl that has the potential to influence the outcome of any conflict ahead.

The barrier confining the exiled commanding family in their mountain prison is weak, on the verge of collage, and the Verndari are no closer to discovering who the traitor working to destroy it is. Alliances are being formed, division spreading like cracks on ice through the fortress.

Bryn has to learn what it means to not just be a warrior, but to be a commander. And to balance her desire to protect those she loves with the needs of the battlefield and the risks that come with it.
